                    Prices should be 1000/1100/1200$ in Europe, since they only get the midrange soc.!

                    But ok, sh3eps will still pay the full price. Exactly like they do with the fruit.

                        Anonymous, 11 Jan 2021I don't understand the flak Samsung's getting for... moreMine is glass. Never used case.
                        Many accidents, but no shattered glass. Just very tiny barely seen scratches on it.
                        Frame had many scratches.

                        My previous phone has plastic back.
                        It was given to someone. No case as well.
                        Way more scrathed.

                              I'm pretty disappointed to see Samsung not adding any major improvements to the S21 or S21+, it would have been cool to see 1440p and 120hz but also the battery could die really fast. I don't really care about a 1080p screen or no card slot, although this is my opinion, I'm sure you all have different thoughts about this phone. It's nice to see the price of the S21 at $850, not cheap but it's an improvement.

                                  the s pen support on the phone and the case stash could mean that they could start selling the s pen separately which could also mean they are taking away the note's main defining feature...
                                  so it could be true that they are killing off the note, but we'll have to wait and see

                                    Compare S21+ with, let's say, 5 years old S7 Edge. Lower screen resolution, no 3.5mm jack, no microSD slot, no heart rate sensor, no accessories in the box...
                                    Sure, some things are better like more ram, faster cpu, better camera, but most of the things that are better are really not that important or noticeable to user. Yet they push them, increase the price, while they removed some essential things.
                                    The phones are going backwards and the future doesn't look good

                                      I don't understand the flak Samsung's getting for switching to plastic backs for the S21/S21+. Most people buying a phone this expensive are going to put it in a case, plus plastic is lighter and more durable than glass

                                        "Samsung has finally overcome the resolution limitation and the Ultra screen will be able to run at 120Hz at full resolution."

                                        If they had used same screen sold to Oppo and OP, the device would be capable to use QHD@120. They did not want to. Clear as bottled water.
